How to start the Goblin Diplomacy quest in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
You can begin the Goblin Diplomacy quest by speaking to Zanik, who can be found on the cliffs overlooking Bramblemead Valley. Alternatively, you can start this quest by picking up the Bandosian Amulet, which we’ll dive more into below.
Zanik will be easily noticeable with the flames of their campfire and tent. Talk to them, and you’ll immediately begin the mission. You can continue to converse with them to gather more information about this unique goblin. However, you’re not required to ask any additional questions.
How to complete Goblin Diplomacy in RuneScape: Dragonwilds
The first mission Zanik sends you on involves a secret ruin and guild. Given that there’s no quest marker, it’s challenging to find, so let’s dive into the Goblin Diplomacy’s key locations.
Ruin Amulet location
At Zanik’s location, head northeast towards the Whispering Swamp. You’ll see the ruins, where you’ll fight against a few goblins. Since it’s in Bramblemead Valley, the enemies shouldn’t be too hard to take down with their Level 1 difficulty.
After you’ve crushed the goblins, make your way into the ruins and hunt down the Reliquary chest tucked away in a shadowy corner room. While there, crack open a second chest for some basic, randomized loot.
One piece of the Bandosian Amulet can be found in the Reliquary chest, while another is located at the guild. However, collecting both pieces may not be necessary, as some players have reached the quest’s final destination with only one amulet in their possession.
Guild Amulet location
For the guild’s Bandosian Amulet, travel south of Zanik towards an enemy base near water. But, before you go there, it’s crucial to either reach Level 20 in Woodcutting or unlock a more powerful axe.
As you might expect, you’ll have to deal with enemy goblins again to roam around the guild freely. A bow is your best choice in this fight, with several goblins perched in hard-to-reach spots. Next, approach the Thorny Vine and use the Chop Thorny Vine ability or a Bronze Axe. Once you’ve chopped it down, you’ll discover another Reliquary chest, triggering the following task in the Goblin Diplomacy quest.
Whispering Swamp Amulet location
Based on the mission’s hint, the last piece of the puzzle lies in the Whispering Swamp, just north of Zanik’s position.
You’re looking for a big cave entrance hidden inside the cliffs of Whispering Swamp. It’s relatively dark in here, so you may want to bring a torch with you. You should also have any healing remedies, including the Anti-Poison Potion, which is handy for the later-game Bloodblight Swamp area.
Head straight forward into the cave to locate a structure with moon phases on it. You must defeat the Garou Druid to claim the amulet. The primary attack you need to look out for is its poisonous strike, where you’ll have to use a potion to counter it. Do your best to dodge this attack, as it can quickly bring your health down. Additionally, you can use spells like Enchant Weapon and Tempest Shield to gain the upper hand.
If you are successful in the fight, you can now return to Zanik and give them the amulet, thus completing the RuneScape: Dragonwilds‘ Goblin Diplomacy quest. Zanik will reward you with the Goblin War Banner, a suitable piece of armor that boosts Melee Defence, Ranged Defence, and Magic Defence by +2.
